Obviously someone in Russia isn't getting rich by selling illegal/sanctioned goods and weapons to Chechen leaders .

Hawk is a tool. Has been, in my eyes, since he tried to put a good spin on '97's "White Flag" Trade.

There's nothing wrong with guns in the hand of a trained professional for defense or sport. Having said that, I cannot see the NRA's position that every law-abiding citizen should own a window mounted gatling gun for defense of life and/or property either. Handguns, shotguns, and rifles should be and are a right for every law-abiding citizen to own but should only be sold to said purchaser after extensive use and safety training.

When I'm suffering from insomnia

Alcohol and marijuana but no PCP. Oops, my bad. I momentarily blanked on Rodney's drug of choice..... both of which, nevertheless, deaden the senses. And I'm not defending the LAPD or Rodney King. Neither's actions that night need to be defended. But, for as terrible as you and the media make it sound, the LAPD officers involved were ACQUITTED in a court of law of criminal wrong doing by a jury that had ALL of the evidence that the media has/had and continues to fail to report to this day.

I saw that a few weeks ago. I was hoping the video would explain what happened to the American Airlines flight then. Wasn't surprised much when the video offered no such explanation.

Did anyone ever tell you that your crap is getting old?

King wasn't handcuffed. He was high on PCP and, combined with his size, that prevented the officers from getting his hands behind his back.

Yeah..... and the first part of the video that you didn't see was Rodney King telling the cops that "he ain't going back to jail" and "that you (the LAPD) motherf***ers are gonna have to kill me!" Oh yeah, and the other two or three occupants of his vehicle that night that were arrested and taken into custody by the same LAPD officers without incident prior to Rodney's ride and diatribe. Keep defending the oppressed Apu

There is such thing as "passive" resistence which may necessitate a subject being tazered to gain compliance. An example..... A driver refuses to acknowledge a police officer's lawful command to exit his/her vehicle by both refusing to acknowledge the command and gripping the steering wheel with both hands in an attempt to make extrication by one or more police officers difficult. Now with tazers, you just zap his/her ass and the muscles release, the subject is knocked senseless for 3-5 seconds afterwards during which two officers can get immediate compliance by quickly extricating the resisting subject and placing them in handcuffs before the subject even knows what the hell just happened. Or would you rather have him/her jack-slapped or beat down like the "innocent" Rodney King :rolly ?

Way to lump ALL cops into batterers and abusers of the civil rights of "innocents" Apu :rolly

He wasn't convulsing. I've seen people get TAZED and that's just what the human body does after 50,000 volts are sent through it for 5 seconds at a time. BTW..... it probably never occured to you that some people can be extremely disorderly to police officers while inside their car which necessitates an arrest by the police where the arrestee must be physically removed from the vehicle by the use of or threatened use of force? Everyone, especially the one's with their kids in the car, just goes quietly and listens intently to everything the good officer has to say until the cop breaks out a blackjack and "WHAM!"..... whacks the good citizen and knocks him out for no reason what-so-ever. :rolly :rolly :rolly :rolly :rolly

Great article :rolly . Really tells the whole story. 1. There is mandatory evacuation order for most of Fla. 2. Where there is not, a curfew has been ordered. 3. If he was in violation of either 1 or 2 (can't tell from this Pulitzer Worthy article :rolly ), the police, I know this will kill you Apu, have the LAWFUL AUTHORITY to detain and prevent this schmo from going any further and can use ANY and ALL NON-LETHAL CONTROL AND ARREST TECHNIQUES to subdue an uncooperative subject. Whether you agree with that or not is inconsequential. The law is the law. Don't like it? Do something to change it rather than post articles..... and I use the word article in this sense very lightly...... from some disturbingly lefty website. BTW, pepper spray and TAZERS are both non-lethal remedies to subdue and contain an uncooperative subject at a police officers disposal.

Sandler sucks. "It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark out, and we're wearing sunglasses." Elwood in The Blues Brothers "It tastes so good when it touches your lips!" Frank 'the Tank' in Old School

Hopper was brilliant in "Blue Velvet." MOMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! WHERE'S MY F*****' BOURBON!!!!!

The White Sox aren't going to the playoffs

Those were plants that are all a part of a vast "right-wing" conspiracy.

That trade worked out. I'll give you that one. The recent one that stands out in my mind was ELo for Contreras. But I guess you can argue that that trade may bite us in the long run. But this was the trade that was fresh in my mind. Unfortunately, the myriad of bad KW deals are as fresh as a few good ones.

Don't forget those "harmless" protestors that assaulted the Illinois reps with water and were trying to goad them into an altercation with taunts of...... "Come on"...... "Do something about it"..... which was caught by the cameras of the National Media.

That's good. My dad had a heart attack in '92 at work and recently had a double bypass in '03. It's a symptom he'll have to deal with now for the rest of his life. Hopefully, angioplasty will be able to fix the damage.

Getting fleeced has been a hallmark of the KW reign of horror. Only recently has he been getting somewhat lucky and he's been doing the fleecing. But that has only been one trade in 3 seasons.

That's just the way Jon pitches. Jon said something to that effect a few weeks ago. Something like..... "That's just the way I pitch."

What do we do about Robbie? This Organization is a friggin' joke. I don't know why I even bother with my time anymore.

He asked for more $$$$$. That's the death bell for anyone on the Southside.

And if you think that money is going anywhere else besides Reinsy's pockets you're sorely mistaken. Do you really think he is gonna sink any of that "Maggs Money" into another premier FA? BTW..... your " " made me think the Sox cheaping out (which they would have done injury or not) was reason for you to whoop it up. Sorry if I misunderstood.
